Beatlemania lives on in Liverpool, where the Fab Four’s amazing story began. See where they lived and dance where they used to play concerts locally, before taking the rest of the world by storm.

Start off at award-winning The Beatles Story in the Albert Dock, a unique interactive tour that explores the lives of John, Paul, George and Ringo from the early days to their solo careers. The Beatles Story’s other site is home to the exhibition British Invasion: how 1960s beat groups conquered America, running until 2016.

To see where The Beatles made their name, don’t miss The Cavern Club, where they played 292 gigs; it’s now home to regular live music, as well as Beatleweek every year. Check into the Hard Day's Night Hotel, the world's only Beatles-inspired hotel, and sip a Strawberry Fields cocktail.

Liverpool is in northwest England, just over 2 hours from London by train.
